   It's possible that the blade is not as sharp as it is supposed to be. It's fairly new though and I haven't done that much cutting.. ??? I have changed it several times with a dado blade but I think it is in correctrly.. Theeth  face forward and I believe that is the correct rotaion.. Forward and down.. What do you think...

   yes, the blade sounds as if its in the right way round so if its riding up BEFORE...it gets to spindle centre I would go for dull blade. one of the other posts mentions if the guide toes in you would get upward lift BUT only after passing centre, before centre you would get pinch.

   The front of the blade pushes the stock down, but the back of the blade will lift the stock.  The most likely cause of your problem is that the rip fence is toed in forcing the wood against the rear of the blade.

   If the blade is in correctly, the teeth point towards you, the boards should not climb unless it is less than 10" long.

   bobbyboy ,         Sometimes stock that is bowed can bounce and rise as well as very thin stock . What material gave this problem or is it all the stock you run does this .

   Are you sure it is a rip blade? Rip blades have aggressive hook angles and fewer teeth (fewer teeth = larger gullet) and should push down on the stock by their nature.
